The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#56

56. More Love

1 More love to thee, O Christ!
More love to thee!
Hear thou the prayer I make,
On bended knee;
This is my earnest plea—

Refrain:
More love, O Christ, to thee!
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee!

2 Once earthly joy I craved—
Sought peace and rest;
Now thee alone I seek:
Give what is best.
This all my prayer shall be— [Refrain]

3 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper thy praise;
This be the parting cry
My heart shall rise—
This still its prayer shall be, [Refrain]
